The Super Bowl 60-bound Seattle Seahawks will go up for sale after their Feb. 8 matchup with the New England Patriots, according to ESPN's Seth Wickersham and Brady Henderson.
After former owner Paul Allen passed away in 2018, the Seahawks and the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers have been owned by Allen's estate. The Blazers are being sold to a group led by Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon for more than $4 billion.
ESPN's report cited an anonymous team executive who speculated that the team could be sold for $7 billion or more; Sportico valued the Seahawks at $6.59 billion last fall, which ranked 14th in the league. The Washington Commanders were the most recent NFL team to be sold, purchased for a then-record $6.05 billion in 2023.
Allen, a co-founder of Microsoft, purchased the Seahawks in 1997 for $200 million.
